THE NEXT SENSATION

Two curators talk about the Royal Academy’s follow-up show to 1997’s “Sensation.” “Apart from Monet, ‘Sensation’ was the most successful exhibition we’ve had in recent years, we had 300,000 visitors and, above all, they were young visitors, and everybody likes young visitors. There’s this perception that young people are more important, so Sensation gave a kind of buzz to the Royal Academy which was unique, and they said ‘Do it again’.” – The Independent (UK)
